Super Rugby tipping
A Super Rugby tipping comp built for a competition that crosses the ditch every weekend. Fixtures land on your tippers' clock, results score themselves, and the ladder runs under your logo and your colours.
Free to start. No credit card.
A Friday night in Dunedin is a different hour to a Saturday night in Perth. Kick-off times, lock countdowns and reminders all show in your tippers' time zone rather than the venue's, so nobody misses the late game across the Tasman because they were reading the venue's local time.
Most rounds run Friday and Saturday with five matches between them. Fixtures close one at a time, so the early Friday game shuts while the Saturday fixtures are still open. Reminders go out 24 hours before the first lock and again 75 minutes before.
The leaderboard moves on the final whistle, overall and by group. On a two-day round the standings are settled by Saturday night, so Sunday is for arguing about them. Super Rugby fixtures, kick-off times and results all come off the live data feed, so the round closes itself.
Rugby union gives you two things most codes do not: a ladder that already runs on a bonus point system, and a fixture list where the travel is genuinely part of the result.
An Australian side playing in Hamilton the week after a home game is not the same team it was seven days earlier, and a New Zealand side arriving in Perth has just crossed the Tasman and most of a continent. In a competition this stretched, the travel schedule predicts upsets better than the ladder does. Tippers who work that out early win, which is exactly the kind of edge that keeps a comp interesting.
Super Rugby awards a ladder point for scoring four tries and another for losing by seven or fewer. Most tipping comps ignore both and score winners only. Mirroring them lets a losing tip still return something and makes a blowout worth more than a grind. It is more work to explain and considerably more interesting to play.
Scorelines run from a one-point drop goal to a fifty-point rout, which makes margin prediction genuinely decisive rather than a tidy tiebreaker. Set the margin fixture on a match you expect to be close, or it stops separating anyone.
From 2027, week one of the finals is straight sudden death for 3rd through 6th, and the top two go directly to semi-finals. There is no qualifying final and no back door. If your comp carries into the finals, that's three rounds rather than four, and every match is elimination, which makes it a much better bracket than a tipping extension.
Super Rugby kicks off just before the NRL. For a club, workplace or bar it's the round that re-establishes the habit after summer. Keep the scoring simple for round one and add the bonus-point complexity later if your field wants it.
A winner in every match across all seventeen rounds. Ten teams and a single table means everyone plays everyone, so the fixture list stays familiar from February to June.
Rugby union's wide scoring range makes margin a real comp rather than a tiebreaker. The format that best rewards people who watch the games instead of reading the ladder.
Mirror the competition's own four-try and losing bonus points in your scoring. More to explain, and the version a rugby-mad room will actually argue about.
Three weeks, single elimination, top two straight into semi-finals. A compact bracket that resolves in June.
Fixtures show in your tippers' time zone, wherever the match is being played. A competition that spans the Tasman and the Pacific is a time zone problem before it is anything else, and it's already handled.
White label on every paid plan. Pro and above add a custom domain and a custom email sender, so the comp reads as yours from the invite through to the Grand Final recap.
Flat points per correct tip out of the box. Joker multipliers, margin prediction and perfect round bonuses if you want them. The bonus-point conversation is a configuration decision rather than a rebuild.
Super Rugby starts before the NRL has found its feet and finishes before league reaches September. For a club or bar it is the first comp of the year and the easiest habit to restart.
